(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties by any Seller Party contained herein;

 

(b) any breach or default of any covenant, agreement, or obligation of any Seller Party contained in this Agreement;

 

(c) any Transaction Expenses or indebtedness of any Seller to the extent not taken into account in the calculation of Net Purchase Price.

 

(d) the operation of the Business before the Closing (other than concerning any Assumed Liabilities); and

 

If Buyer is entitled to indemnification hereunder, then Buyer shall have the right to seek recourse with respect to any such indemnification obligation against any or all of the Seller Parties and against any amounts otherwise due to any Seller Party under this Agreement (including, without limitation, any amounts payable to Sellers pursuant to Section 2.4).

 

7.2. Indemnification by Buyer. Buyer shall indemnify and hold the Seller and their respective affiliates, employees, officers, agents, and representatives (collectively, the “Seller Indemnitees”), harmless from against, and in respect of Losses directly or indirectly relating to, resulting from, arising out of or incidental to:

 

(a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any of the representations or warranties by Buyer contained herein or in any other agreement, instrument, or document entered into in connection with this Agreement;

 11 
 

 

(d) any violation of Laws by the Buyer arising after the Closing Date (excluding violations of Laws relating to an inaccurate representation of a Seller Party).

 

7.3. Tax Treatment of Indemnity Payments. Any indemnity payment under this Agreement shall be treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless there is no reasonable basis for doing so under applicable law.

 

7.4. Buyer Investigation. The right to indemnification shall not be affected by any investigation conducted with respect to, or, except for disclosures made in the Disclosure Schedules, any knowledge acquired (or capable of being acquired) at any time, whether before or after the Signing Date, with respect to any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement.

 

7.5. Materiality. Each of the representations and warranties that contains any “material adverse effect,” “material” or similar materiality qualifications shall be read as though such qualifications were not contained therein for the purposes of determining whether or not an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Article 7 and the amount of Losses to which such indemnified party may be entitled under this Article 7.

 

7.6. Limitations on Seller Parties’ Indemnification Liability.

 

(a) Threshold for Bringing Claims Against the Seller Parties. If a Buyer Indemnitee seeks indemnification for matters identified in Section 7.1(a) the indemnification by the Seller Parties will not apply unless and until the aggregate Losses exceed 2% of the Purchase Price. (the “Indemnification Threshold”). Once the Indemnification Threshold has been reached (and subject to the provisions and limitations contained in this Article 7), any indemnification obligations of the Seller Parties under Section 7.1(a)will apply to all Losses incurred for claims under Section 7.1(a) without regard to the Indemnification Threshold.

 

(b) Limitation of Aggregate Amount of Seller Parties’ Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, in no event will:

 

(i) the total cumulative amount of Losses for which the Seller Parties may collectively be liable to the Buyer or Buyer Indemnitees under Section 7.1(a) exceed the amount of the Closing Payment with respect to Losses resulting from or arising out of breaches of representations and warranties other than the Fundamental Representations; and

 

(ii) the total cumulative amount of Losses for which the Seller Parties may collectively be liable to the Buyer or Buyer Indemnitees under Section 7.1(a) with respect to Fundamental Representations exceed the Net Purchase Price.

 

(c) Exceptions to Indemnification Limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Article 6, the limitations on liability contained in Section 7.1(a)and 7.1(b) shall not apply to (i) fraud by the Seller Parties. For purposes of this Agreement, “fraud” shall mean knowing, intentional or grossly negligent misrepresentation, misstatement, concealment, or omission.

 

 12 
 

 

7.7. Indemnification Procedures. If any of the Buyer Indemnitees or Seller Indemnitees (each, an “Indemnified Party”) wishes to seek indemnification under this Article 7, the Indemnified Party shall give written notice thereof to the Seller Parties or the Buyer, as the case may be (the Seller Parties or the Buyer, in their capacity as indemnifying parties hereunder are referred to as “Indemnifying Parties”); provided, that in the case of any action or lawsuit brought or asserted by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) that would entitle the Indemnified Party to indemnity hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Parties of the same in writing; provided, further, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Parties promptly shall not relieve the Indemnifying Parties of their indemnification obligation hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnifying Parties have been materially prejudiced thereby. Any request for indemnification made by an Indemnified Party shall be in writing, shall specify in reasonable detail the basis for such claim, the facts pertaining thereto and, if known and quantifiable, the amount thereof (a “Claim Notice”). No claim for indemnification may be asserted or brought under this Agreement unless a Claim Notice is delivered to the Indemnifying Parties prior to the expiration of the survival period (if any) for the applicable representation, warranty or covenant (in which case the claims identified in such Claim Notice may be prosecuted until their conclusion). If the Indemnifying Parties object to the indemnification of an Indemnified Party in respect of any claim or claims specified in any Claim Notice, the Indemnifying Parties shall deliver a written notice specifying in reasonable detail the basis for such objection to the Indemnified Party, within thirty (30) calendar days after delivery by the Indemnified Party of such Claim Notice (the “Dispute Statement”). If a Dispute Statement is not received by the Indemnified Party within such thirty (30) day period, the amount set forth in the Claim Notice shall be deemed accepted by the Indemnifying Parties and shall be conclusive and binding upon the Indemnifying Parties. If the Indemnifying Parties delivers to the Indemnified Party a Dispute Statement applicable to all or any portion of a claim within the period for delivery of the same set forth above, then the amount in dispute by the Indemnifying Party in such Dispute Statement shall not be payable to the Indemnified Party until either (i) Buyer and the Seller Parties jointly agree in writing to the resolution of the amount in dispute in such Dispute Statement, or (ii) a court of competent jurisdiction enters a final unappealable order regarding the claim and the amount in dispute in such Dispute Statement.

 

In the case of any Third Party Claim, if within forty-five (45) calendar days after receiving a Claim Notice, an Indemnifying Parties give written notice to the Indemnified Party stating (A) that the Indemnifying Parties would be liable for indemnity under the provisions hereof if such Third Party Claim were valid, (B) that the Indemnifying Parties dispute and intend to defend against such claim and (C) that the Indemnifying Parties will be solely responsible for all costs, expenses and liabilities incurred in connection with or otherwise relating to such claim, then counsel for the defense shall be selected by the Indemnifying Parties (subject to the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), whereupon the Indemnifying Parties shall not be required to make any payment to the Indemnified Party for the costs of its defense counsel in respect of such Third Party Claim as long as the Indemnifying Parties are conducting a good faith and diligent defense; provided, that the Indemnified Party shall at all times have the right to fully participate in such defense at its, his or her own expense directly or through counsel. If the Indemnifying Parties assume the defense in accordance with the preceding sentence, they shall have the right, with the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to settle the portion of such Third Party Claim that is subject to indemnification; provided, that the settlement (1) does not involve the imposition of an injunction or other equitable relief on the Indemnified Party or any of its affiliates and (2) expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnified Party and its applicable affiliates from all Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim (and all other claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances), with prejudice. The Indemnifying Parties shall keep the Indemnified Party apprised of the status of any Third-Party Claim for which it has assumed the defense, shall furnish the Indemnified Party with all documents and information that such Indemnified Party reasonably requests, and shall consult with the Indemnified Party prior to acting on major matters, including settlement discussions. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the Indemnifying Parties shall not have the right to assume control of the defense, if the Third Party Claim which the Indemnifying Parties seeks to assume control of: (aa) seeks non-monetary relief; (bb) involves criminal or quasi-criminal allegations; (cc) is one in which any of the Indemnifying Parties and the Indemnified Party are both named in the complaint; or (dd) involves a claim for which an adverse determination would have a material adverse effect on the Indemnified Party’s or any of its applicable affiliates’ reputation or future business prospects. If notice of intent to dispute and defend is not given by the Indemnifying Parties within the time period referenced above, or if such diligent good faith defense is not being or ceases to be conducted, then the Indemnified Party may undertake the defense of (with counsel selected by such Indemnified Party), and shall have the right to compromise or settle, such Third Party Claim in its sole discretion; provided, however, that such compromise or settlement (x) shall not be determinative of whether such claim is indemnifiable hereunder of or the amount of Losses relating the such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Parties, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, and (y) may not be made without the consent of the Indemnifying Parties unless such settlement or compromise (i) does not involve the imposition of an injunction or other equitable relief on the Indemnifying Party, or any criminal or quasi-criminal allegations against any of the Indemnifying Parties, and (ii) expressly and unconditionally releases the Indemnifying Parties from all Losses with respect to such Third Party Claim (and all other claims arising out of the same or similar facts and circumstances), with prejudice.

 

 13 
 

 

7.8. Exclusive Remedy. From and after the Closing, this Article 7 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to any breach or inaccuracy of any representation or warranty made by any of the Seller Parties pursuant to Section 7.1(a) or by Buyer pursuant to Section 7.1(a); provided, however, that (1) nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or restrict the right of any party to obtain injunctive or other equitable relief with a court of competent jurisdiction, and (2) the exclusivity provisions of this Section 7.8 shall not apply to claims for fraud arising under or relating to the Transactions.

 

8. SURVIVAL

 

8.1. Survival. Except as otherwise stated herein, the representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the Closing and any investigation made by or on behalf of any Party hereto, until the eighteen (18)-month anniversary of the Closing Date; provided that the representations and warranties in Sections [3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5, 4.1, 4.2 and 4.3] (the “Fundamental Representations”) shall survive the Closing and any investigation made by or on behalf of any Party hereto, until the later of (x) sixty (60) days after expiration of the applicable statute of limitations, and (y) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date. For purposes of clarity, all of the covenants or other agreements of the Parties set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing Date in accordance with their respective terms or, if no such term is specified, until the seven (7) year anniversary of the Closing Date.

9. COVENANTS

 

9.1. Confidentiality and Non-Disparagement.

If, after the Closing, a Seller Party, or any of their respective representatives are legally required to disclose any Confidential Information, such person shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (i) promptly notify Buyer to permit the Buyer to seek a protective order or take other appropriate action and (ii) cooperate as reasonably requested by Buyer in its efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. If, after the Closing and in the absence of a protective order, any Seller Party or any of their respective representatives are compelled as a matter of Law to disclose Confidential Information to a third party, such person and its representatives may disclose to the third party compelling disclosure only the part of such Confidential Information as is required by Law to be disclosed; provided, however, that, before any such disclosure, such person and its representatives will, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, use good faith efforts to advise and consult with Buyer and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of such disclosure.

 

 14 
 

 

(b) Non-Disparagement. No Seller Party shall, directly or indirectly, make any comments (written, oral, electronic or otherwise) that could be reasonably construed as defamatory concerning the Business, any Buyer or any respective employee or independent consultant thereof to any person, at any time, including, but not limited to, customers, clients, vendors, current or former or future employees of the Business or any Buyer or affiliate thereof, financial or credit institutions, the media or the general public.

 

9.2. Transfer Taxes. All personal property transfer, documentary, sales, use, stamp, registration, and other such Taxes, and all conveyance fees, recording charges, and other fees and charges (including any penalties and interest) imposed in connection with the transfer of the Purchased Assets to the Buyer shall be paid by the Buyer.

 

9.3. Use of Name. Following the Closing Date, the Seller shall have no rights to use any trademarks or tradenames of the Business, including, but not limited to, the names “SofPulse®” or any variants thereof. As soon as reasonably possible after the Closing Date (and in any event within thirty (30) calendar days), the Seller shall cease all use of such names. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, ENDV will be able to utilize the name SofPulse® and Electroceuticals® in its marketing materials.

 

9.4. Offer of Employment to Seller Employees. Subject to the outcome of their standard investigations, including background checks Buyer will endeavor to offer “at will” employment to all of the full-time employees of the Sellers on terms, including to Buyer’s knowledge, compensation, including deferred compensation and other ENDV-associated employment obligations, and benefits, substantially consistent with those Seller had accorded such employees within thirty (30) days following the Closing Date.

 

9.5. Access to Books and Records. The Buyer will afford the Seller and their respective advisors, during normal business hours, reasonable access to all books and records included in the Purchased Assets, in the Buyer’s possession for periods through the Closing and the right to make copies and extracts therefrom solely to the extent that such access may be reasonably required by the requesting party, in connection with (i) the preparation of tax returns or financial statements, (ii) any tax audit, tax protest or other proceeding relating to taxes, (iii) the determination or enforcement of rights and obligations under this Agreement or the Transactions, (iv) compliance with the requirements of any Governmental Body, (v) any actual or threatened lawsuit, legal proceeding, administrative enforcement proceeding or arbitration before any Governmental Body.
